i'm looking for some ideas for a paint scheme on my 1st gen. i have no imagination for this stuff. i don't know how to use computer programs to help either.



this is what i'm starting with, i was thinking of something lurid like yellow zebra stripes or something to give it character, not just black.



maybe a white center section on the hood, anything but just plain black or hot pink

 

Nah, just paint the chrome black!

 

im not much of a painter either, so im gunna keep it simple and flat tan this beast!!!!!!!


As soon as i get off the laid-off bus!!!!!
this is lame man!


All is well though, im packed and ready for camping this weekend with the old lady!!!!

 

hope the bus stops soon for ya

 

thanks for the support. The construction up here has fallen off BAD!!!!

You have a very clean 4runner on your hands, i'd black out the grill and leave it alone for now.

 

i just want something a lot different

i plan on blacking the grill

 

how about this

 

dude the retro styling is killer. do you mind if i kinda use that sweet decal style block look, with fantastic color choices??????????

 

anything is welcome

 

feel free as long as I get credit for the inspiration.

 

that is def original

 

just a heads up the pic is of an unfinished paint job. The yellow will be gone when im done. This is all being done with rattle can paint.

 

hey jjrgr21..........like the wheels....where can i get those black stock looking ones

 

they're stock spares from taco's and runners, uber cheap and come with new tires most of the time

 

what size tires / what size rims. on my 92 i have 31-10,.5 -15 on 15x8's but on the 88 4runner we just got w/ SR5 rims stamped 15x7 they also have 31-10.5-15's. that 1'' width difference seems to translate to extra height and a skinnier profile (although i can see on the 4runner that it has integrated fender flares that cover the tires).this is an issue right now because i got stopped by a state trooper and warned that the tires on my 92 stick out too much (2'') so i'm shopping for fender flares.
anyway,i was told 18 years ago when i first got my 92 (oct 1991) that to have the wider tires i would have to bump up to the 8'' width wheels but apparently that's not true seeing the 88 4runner w/ the same size tires on skinnier rims. thoughts.....................

 

265/75/16, and the wheels are 16*7

 

I want to see a pink engine block with black heads and airbox. Other than that I'm worthless with imagination

 

anyone have a program that could do it?

does anyone know of a good "virtual wheels" site?

i had one bookmarked but guess i deleted it

 

checkerboard the center section of the hood. get a bunch of stencils and go crazy. i would like to see a tie dye personally. better yet paint it with chalkboard paint and keep a tub of chalk in your truck, a new design after every car wash and it would entertain kids for hours.

 

Do the body flat black and all accents ie, wheels, bumpers, door handles and grill, gloss black. You could even overlay some black high gloss eighties stylie pin stripes on the body. Or other way around. Buff your ish out and flat everything else. Black is it. Dig the rims. Although, Hooligan your rig looks phenomenal.
